Artist Statement

How can we talk about America as a whole? Why is it so hard to talk about America without it spilling out beyond our control?

This piece is a visual metaphor for how difficult it is to concisely discuss (or even think) about our “American-ness”. Our short history is a complicated one, and talking about any facet of American culture gets very complicated very quickly.

I’m a very tactile sculptor, and enjoy repetitious processes. The pieces is comprised of a wooden open-face flag box I built, and strands of hand-dyed cotton fabric which was sewn together one square at a time. Verticality and a sense of presence was very important to me in this piece.

The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
